You might as well go live under Taliban where strict Sharia Law applies. Stealing chop you hand. Drinking alcohol, canning and so on so forth.

Only idiots will find excuses to blame others but themselves. The problem begins with the gamblers not able to have self-control. If they are so fucking useless. they can go kill themselves and save others the trouble they bring to themselves and others.

The casino hasn't ruined her life. She's ruined her own life. The outcome is entirely of her own doing.

Casinos are inanimate objects. They don't determine destinies. Humans do that all their own.

An inordinate number of humans determined to become the next Bill Gates. How's their success rate thus far? The truth of the matter is that free will is a myth. We are the products of environment and genetics. Did she abandon her family prior to the construction of the casinos? If not, why not?

The purported freedom of lawlessness and deregulation is a mirage. With or without laws, one would still have to suffer negative consequences for making negative decisions. Under Sharia Law, you'll lose a hand for stealing. In lawless Somalia, you probably would be beaten to death.

So regardless the environment, it is the person himself to blame for his action. If the person do not know how to control himself/herself to NOT steal or gamble, don't blame others leaving their things around or casino at their doorstep. The problem lies within that very person.

The problem lies with incomplete information, resulting in poor decision making.

So it is that person's stupidity or lack of ability to gather proper information to make proper decision. In any case, he/she is an idiot and like what they say, a fool and his money soon parted.

Genetics provides us with the basics. What we make of the cards we are dealt depends entirely on free will. There are periods of my life that I made a mess of. Having realised the mess that I had made was entirely of my own doing, I used "free will" to turn things around.

Had I started blaming everyone else but myself, I'd be in an even worse mess today.

Well, it's all about priorities and trade-offs. If a law produces a net benefit for you, I'm very sure you would be advocating for laws and regulations. In the real world, the individual does not give a damn if it's state regulation or self-regulation as long as it serves his self-interests. If you think the state should let the people, individual citizens, decide whether they should kill or control their lust for blood, by all means lobby for the decriminalization of murder.

Like you've said, " the individual does not give a damn if it's state regulation or self-regulation as long as it serves his self-interests". So didn't that stupid gambler act in self-interest when he gambled his life-savings? Now who to blame for his stupidity? If he is is stupid, don't blame the law or Casino as you have already put it that he "does not give a damn if it's state regulation or self-regulation". Even if there is no Casino, he will still act stupid.

If you think the state should let the people, individual citizens, decide whether they should kill or control their lust for blood, by all means lobby for the decriminalization of murder.

I don't know what rubbish you are trying to put here. If idiots want to commit a crime, they have to live with the result of their actions. In a lawless place, possible revenge action from those family members/friends he killed. In a law abiding place, he has become a criminal.

Personally (not party position) I have no objection against the casinos except for the S$100 entry levy. Why should casinos be banned or entry be levied just because there're idiots around bent on destroying themselves? Idiots should be allowed to destroy themselves and prudent gamers should be allowed to entertain themselves.

 

[red amoeba]

first off, no one point a gun at her head to force her to go casino.

the government has made a decision to build 2 casinos despite the protests, we must live with it, else vote in the alternate party as government and get them to shut these things down.

if we blast casinos as culprits, go look at the other more obvious culprit - those 4D betting stations.

a) they are almost everywhere like 7-eleven
b) unlike casinos that levy 100 dollars and impose dress code, u can buy a quick pick for 50cents. You can go queue in your PJ or wearing g-strings
c) u can buy unlimited times, unlimited types of betting.

the only disadv, is that winnings / loses are known almost immediately in a casino.

so, if we are to ban casinos, i suggest we start by banning 4D betting outlets or minimum, restrict their operations.

I have not gone into race course yet - i have seen, bosses losing their pants / businesses just because of these 4-legged creatures, thats before casinso are in Singapore.

Every NTUC fairprice ( almost) have Betting counters, we have instinctively associate NTUC Fairprice Supermarkets with Toto/4D/Soccer/Racing( all sorts)/ Scracth cards & they have clubs that have Fruit Machines, Tombolas etc., these are mini CaSINoes. SiINgapore Turd Clubs Horse Racing Satelite premises are sprouting everywhere, read, the Old Majestic Cinema on Eu Tong Seng Street, is becoming one, I know a few others, even I don't bet on horses.

The decision to build the caSINoes is business, GREED, making money from GREED!, who says that Asians aren't GREEDY!

I agree with you totally. Better they lose their money in Singapore Genting casino (and pay government 10% tax) rather than play on a Genting ship and Singapore gets nothing.

 

[BuiKia]

DId you just talk to yourself?

agree.limkopi!...there are many who remain untouched despite so many fartups in life and despite so many fouls goals and falsehoods....many are walking untouched and unkilled and unharmed.....many are able to escape their misdeeds....life is a mockery.
